I was chatting with a dear
friend of mine tonight. Someone
that we both know had passed away
and with her living in Utah I was
pretty sure that she didn't know.
Mary and I went to school
together, cruised main when we first
got our licenses in new trucks of
our dad's. We played a ton of
Volleyball, Basketball and Softball
together. We had a lot of fun together.
She told me tonight that in July
of this year she was baptized. I was
pleasantly surprised but as a kid
had always told my parents that she
would make a good mormon. How funny
is that, that years later she now
belongs to the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints. Not sure why but
I'm pretty happy about that.

Next Saturday, I have been blessed
with the opportunity to speak about
the Holy Ghost at the Baptism of 2
of the boys in our primary class. As
usual I'm nervous and have been
thinking about what I will say. I just love
being a part of these sweet little spirits
baptisms. One of the boys has asked
Nate to Confirm him a member of the
Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day saints. How awesome
and what a great blessing is that?
Well off to sew and see if I can't
keep this great feeling of happiness
with me, despite the news of another
loss of a member of our community.
